random egyptian sightings

here are some pictures from different things i found odd, random, or interesting

in a city with no traffic laws or anyone to enforce traffic laws, somehow we were the only car that ended up with a boot on it... luckily our "bodyguard" commanded someone to take it off. and i got in trouble for taking a picture. dictatorships are brutal.

no one in cairo seemed to carry anything with their hands. when in doubt, put it on your head. i tried to balance my camera on my head and i couldn't even do that. it almost fell and broke and i would've lost everything. but this lady makes it look easy.

just in case you want to work out, there is a gold's gym on the Nile river. think of moses floating down the Nile, stopping at golds to do some power clings. 

egypt stores are filled with the strangest and weirdest manikins. they were downright scary. like this woman who looked like she'd been beaten over the head with an ugly stick. and why wont someone fix her glasses?

you've seen many drug dogs i'm sure. beagles, german shepherds, dobermans, and other canines. but this was the very first drug dog i've seen that was a golden retriever. i have a golden, as i'm sure you all know because i blog about her quite often, and i can tell you for sure that this breed will not bust anyone. they will befriend the drug pusher and lick the person holding the drugs. i wondered at the success of this sweet golden retriever. it was like God was giving me a gabby-like dog to satisfy my need for loving on a golden.

apparently frito lay chips, other snacks and yes, even cars

and on these cars, people have zip tied their hubcaps to the wheels

this man was watering a pile of dirt while his friends looked alongside

this man is on a camel, yes, in the middle of the desert, and he is on his cell phone. i was thinking, "wow, those roaming charges must be crazy!" 

our "bodyguard" - more on this later - had the longest crack nail i've ever seen. and he totally busted me on taking a picture of the alleged nail.
